The Ballmer Kiss ImitationScore one for Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at the Web 2.0 Summit today in San Francisco.  He trashed Google like the Cowboy’s Terrell Owens dismissing Randy Moss, comparing the company to an eager-beaver toddler: "You're just 3 years old, and we've got you in there playing basketball with a 12-year-old.  You're growing up quick and getting better every day, and you've got all the potential in world, and it may take you 'til you're 7, 8, 9 or 10, but you're gonna dunk and you're gonna dunk on the other guy some day, Johnny."
